Yeah, Tana's badmouthing of her employees will backfire on her, and Kendra had a huge success with her game tournament whereas Tana had a bunch fo problems like the flag and the flyer and putting the governor off.

Ever since Erin was fired (my early favorite) I've felt that Kendra will win. She is the one that saved Magna every single week.

Tana is an idiot in so many ways. Trump has a natural inclination to side with Kendra on account of her education. However there is also the fact that Tana has done nothing but screw up in this job interview. To me, there is nothing good about her. She lacks the leadership, intelligence, charisma, sense, and determination to do well in one of his companys.

Yeah, Kendra's definately got it. If there was any doubt, the employees they used walking in at the end pretty much ended any speculation.

Then again, I thought Chris was gonna win. Geez, everyone hated him so much. But I have a definate soft spot for him, and not just because my name is Chris. But because he really does have a lot of potential, and he gave up the chewing habit for Trump. It takes dedication to do that. Maybe he'll be hired anyway? Haha, well, one can hope.

I thought that finale wasn't very good. It was too stretched out and they didn't really even talk to the fired candidates. They also didn't show the teams discussing the final 2 candidates. I thought they handled it the best during the first season.

Bump- we're two episodes into the new season. First week they fired the right person, and this week they fired the wrong one (though he did make the mistake of not bringing the "lower case i" guy in with him).

The two tasks combined, I thought that Markus was definitely the weakest link for Excel, but if you're just counting this last task, I think it had to be either Chris or Mark because of the print ads. Ultimately, I think Chris was just trying to copy what Kristi did last week - she brought only Melissa back in with her, and it worked out and Melissa was fired, but it didn't got that way this week.

definitely the right choice in the first episodes firing. i think it was a decent choice this time--it was foolish for him to just bring in markus. it's been done repeatedly by competitors on the apprentice: when they bring in someone they have a personal dislike for (whether they're incompetent or not) even though that person wasn't responsible for the loss. it only ever worked once and that was w/ the girl either last season or the one before that who freaked out w/ the magic 8 ball--she got fired weeks after she screwed up.

i don't really have any favorites yet--maybe alla. anyone else have anyone they are partial to yet?

I know, I about died of laughter when they were showing the cab ride, I mean normally they at least say something, and sometimes they really get going on a rant, but everyone was just silent. And a couple of them even did those occasional small smiles that people do in the midst of awkward silence, just so funny. Although I don't really think the other two should've been fired, it would'dve still been great if he'd just fired Jennifer and Josh, but it was very entertaining.

Also, I loved the ad for the SW episode in a couple of weeks. Where Donald fired Chewbacca because no one could understand a word he said, then they showed our poor Wookie walking into the elevator with a pink suitcase, also really hilarious.

Yeah, as soon as I saw they were making them all take teh same taxi, I was like "Gee, that'll be a fun cab ride...".

What I gotta wonder is that they've now effectively shortened the season by 4 episodes, so how do they work that out with their sponsors? Do they line up 4 or 5 sponsors for the middle of the show and say "we have the option of cancelling in the event of multiple firings..."?
